Bypassing UK Internet Censorship

Immunicity

The new PacketFlagon software allows those with censored Internet connections to bypass these filters by building customised PAC files to selectively route certain websites via uncensored proxies running on their own computers.

This software is provided for free, once downloaded it cannot be seized by the Police because there is no longer any central proxy. Be free.

Immunicity.org Registered

Following a round of UK wide Internet censorship a young software developer registered this domain and made use of the virtually defunct Proxy Auto Configuation featureset available in most browsers.

With a simple 30 second config change those in the UK who were previously subject to censorship could again reach any website on the Internet.

Immunicity.org Founder Is Charged with Fraud

After 2 years of legal wrangling the City of London Police finally press charges against the founder of Immunicity.org whereupon the Crown Prosecution Service decide to take it to court.

These charges are; one count of converting and/or transferring criminal property and six counts of possession of an article for use in fraud.

We believe that these charges are vexatious as the domains in question were simply mirrors and many, such as this one, are already back in service.

The dangers of a centralised PAC proxy became evident following our retrival of this domain so we started developing a truly decentralised PAC solution.

PacketFlagon Released as a Local PAC Daemon for true decentralisation

go-packetflagon is a lightweight HTTP server that runs locally on your computer that allows you to create and serve PAC files just to your PC or to other computers in your home.

It does not rely on any centralisd infrastructure (even if GitHub has issues we have alternatives) and even if the PacketFlagon infrastructure or domain were seized (unlikely) this would have no effect on the software.
